The Truth Behind GOING VIRAL with the Internet's Favorite Dad: @DadhowdoI

We are celebrating Father's Day with America's favorite internet dad. In this heartwarming episode, we sit down with Rob Kenney, the viral YouTube sensation behind the beloved channel @DadhowdoI . Known to many as the internet's favorite dad, Rob's journey began from a place of forgiveness and a desire to share the fatherly wisdom he wished he had received. Rob chose to turn his experiences into positive change and a mission to help others. He created "Dad, How Do I?" to provide practical advice and tutorials on everyday tasks—everything from tying a tie to changing a tire. His first video, "How to Tie a Tie," quickly went viral, resonating with millions of viewers who found comfort and guidance in his calm and nurturing approach. Since then, Rob has been featured on numerous major news outlets, spreading his message of kindness, understanding, and self-sufficiency. Today, he joins us in the Cypress Room to share his remarkable journey, the lessons he's learned along the way, and his mission to be the dad that many people never had.
